One of our most special combinations is the linen and organic cotton fabric with dyed threads , a mix that not only provides elegance and comfort, but is also environmentally friendly.
In this article we will tell you all about this wonderful combination, its characteristics, manufacturing and why it is ideal for improving both the aesthetics and functionality of your home.
What is organic linen and cotton fabric with dyed threads?
Organic linen and cotton yarn dyed fabric is a fusion of two highly valued natural fibres. Linen , known for its freshness, strength and rustic yet elegant look, is combined with organic cotton , a soft and comfortable fibre, which has been grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilisers. Both are dyed at the yarn level, meaning that the colour is incorporated into the fibre before being woven, creating textiles with long-lasting shades and a refined visual effect. The yarn dyeing technique adds additional aesthetic value to the products as it allows the colours to remain vibrant for longer, even after multiple washes.
Characteristics of linen and organic cotton with dyed threads
- Softness and comfort: Organic cotton is extremely soft, which counteracts the sometimes rougher texture of pure linen. This combination creates a comfortable and pleasant-to-touch fabric, ideal for products that are in direct contact with the skin, such as bed linen, cushions and towels. In addition, as they are dyed at the yarn level, the process does not affect the natural softness of the fibres.
- Strength and durability: Due to the properties of linen and organic cotton combined with the yarn-dyeing process, the products will not only wear less, but will also maintain their fresh look for longer.
- Sustainability and environmental friendliness: Linen is a sustainable fibre that is grown without the need for additional irrigation, taking advantage of natural rainwater. On the other hand, organic cotton also uses significantly less water than conventional cotton. While around 10,000 litres of water are required to produce 1 kg of conventional cotton, organic cotton reduces this consumption by up to 91% . In comparison, linen needs only around 650 litres of water for the same quantity, making it a much more environmentally friendly option.
- Long-lasting colour and unique appearance: Yarn dyeing allows colours to be deeply integrated into the fibres before they are woven. This not only ensures that the colour is more resistant to washing and daily use, but also offers a more uniform and sophisticated finish compared to piece-dyed textiles. In addition, yarn dyeing allows for the creation of visually appealing patterns, such as stripes or checks, that do not fade easily.
Manufacturing process of dyed yarn
Spinning: Organic materials are spun into fibers using mechanical processes that respect the fiber's natural properties. The use of chemicals that are often used to soften or strengthen conventional cotton is avoided.
Yarn Dyeing: Before being woven, the yarn goes through a dyeing process. The dyeing process involves dipping the yarn into dyes, where the temperature and duration are controlled to achieve deep, long-lasting colours.
Weaving: Once the dyed yarn is ready, it is woven into fabrics. This process includes specific patterns, such as stripes or checks, which are characteristic of yarn-dyed textiles. Emma and Elisa are two collections that are created with a yarn-dyed fabric with a chambray effect. The vertical threads are white and the horizontal ones are coloured.
The combination of threads of different colors allows you to customize and create varied and attractive designs, while maintaining the quality of organic cotton.
Finishing: The resulting fabrics go through a finishing process that maintains the softness of the cotton and ensures that the color remains vibrant for longer.
